[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 6032222, member: 24302"] That they are always people who don't want to be taken alive? Have you noticed how our government has sent in dozens of heavily armed officers in body armor to arrest people who happen to be of the other political persuasion but are absolutely no threat to the officers? We should put limits on the use of force, not expand it. I watched a video of a family in Chicago who had their apartment door kicked in by about a dozen officers who were on the wrong floor. A couple of the officers forgot about their body cams and were in the kitchen trying to decide how to cover up their mistake. They turned the apartment upside down in hopes of.finding something they could charge the man with. He was handcuffed and the family.sat down with the kids crying through the whole thing. In another video watched officers kick in the door and pointed guns at a woman who had just gotten out of the shower and hadn't heard the knocking. They were not only at the wrong apartment but in the wrong building too! She was crying hysterically. So yes, I want limits on what cops can do because.if you're going to shoot on sight then you better make damn sure you are shooting.the right person and they are at least pointing a gun at you. Otherwise we have out of control death squads. [/QUOTE]
